Did You Know?

  • The oldest surviving carpet is the celebrated Pazyryk (in Siberia) carpet, which is over 2,000 years old.
  • Some viruses (such as the norovirus) can live on uncleaned carpets for at least a month. At SERVPRO of Austin & Albert Lea, we clean and disinfect every surface.
  • We also remove odors.
  • According to microbiologists, the five germiest places in homes are: air blown from a running vacuum cleaner, dish sponges, washing machines, toilets during a flush (close that lid!), and the kitchen trash can.
  • Carpets can accumulate several pounds of soil each year.
  • To brighten carpets or remove muddy footprints: sprinkle salt and let it sit for an hour before vacuuming it up.
  • The first reference to a “red carpet” is in the play “Agamemnon” (458 B.C.E.) by Aeschylus.
  • The first record of the phrase “sweep under the rug” or “sweep under the carpet” is from 1963.
  • Home carpets should be professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. Don’t ask us how long we go between cleanings at our own homes.

Cleaning is a Dirty Job, but It can be a Funny One

“The house was clean, and then the kids woke up”. It’s true that homes would be a lot cleaner without people in them, but dust accumulates even when no one is there.

“My place isn’t messy. I just have everything on display – like a museum.” Organization is a tough job, and unfortunately, no one can do it but the people who live there.

“A clean house is a sign of no internet connection.”

“Every time you get the urge to clean, watch Hoarders. You may decide your house isn’t that dirty after all.”  Not really – just call us. SERVPRO of Austin & Albert Lea makes you feel better than watching a tv show can.

“Cleaning the house while the children are still growing is like shoveling snow during a blizzard.”

“Behind every good marriage is a great cleaning service.” Yes! We save marriages!
